1931 Half Penny

[Triggersmob]

This coin is from my friends collection.
I noticed that it is a low mintage.
Not in very nice condition, but would it
be worth getting it professionally restored?

It looks like your Mate has a "Thing" about cleaning his/her coins.
This one looks like it has had the vinegar dip and a bit of a thumb rub in the past.
Too much damage done here for any sort of restoration :angel:

A soak in WD40 for an hour or so might improve it.

I don't think he has cleaned the coins, I think he received them like that.

I was considering that as an option.

Looks like it was cleaned some time ago

This date can easily be found in good extra fine condition so the costs of professional restoration wouldn't be worth it
IMO

OK, into the WD40 it goes then.
Nothing to lose.
